“goodyear efficientgrip performance notches Hello! I bought a new goodyear efficientgrip performance 215/55/18 tires for my car. And it was surprise to see so many notches on the summer tire (1st & 2nd photo). Although the internet image doesn’t have any (3rd photo). What could it be and is it normal? Read more”

“There is a noticeably difference in handling from 17” to 19”, from 18” to 19” not so much. The cornering is cleaner, sharper and more precise. The runflat will make the ride quality worst, the 18” ride quality is not much better than the 19”. The 19” will probably get damage easier. If we were talking conventional tires, then going from 19” to 18” will make bigger difference in ride comfort.”

Community feedback on the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is generally favorable, with drivers highlighting quiet road noise, good comfort, and solid wet and dry grip. Some users raise concerns regarding sidewall vulnerability and potential long-term cracking, while others inquire about variations in tread patterns.
“Quote: Originally Posted by manson The tyre noise between the three runs on the Goodyear EGP series was averaged at 74.1 dB. ... A little later, the GLA was ready to go on the Continental tyres and between the 3 runs (same as for the EGP series), the sound keeper recorded an average noise level of 76.3 dB . This implied a ~3% lower noise level on the EGP tyres: Although it is ~3% dB over dB, considering that 3dB corresponds to 2x loudness, the reduction may be more significant than what the number suggests.”
“Thanks for the comments and suggestions. As it turns out I could not get the Continental PremiumContact 6 so I ordered a set of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 225/60 R16 102W XL from local shop. I have had these Goodyears in several cars in the past and they have been very good so far. Hopefully same continues with the W140.”
“I've just had these fitted too and have to say they seem much quieter than my Kumhos and certainly dry grip is excellent ( though I don't tend to drift round corners, unless something has gone wrong!)”

Community feedback on the Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season highlights its strong value, competitive pricing, and solid traction, handling, and treadwear expectations. While noted as an improvement over older designs like the Eagle GT, discussions around the ROF (run-flat) version indicate some concerns regarding a stiffer ride compared to conventional non-run-flat alternatives.
“So i have a 2009 Scion TC (purchased exactly 6 years ago) which just hit 43k miles. As you can see i baby my car and i use public transportation to work. That being said the stock turanzas are toast. actually running Kuhmo Ecsta supras on the back and stock bridgestones on the front So that leaves me in the market for 4 new tires. After driving myself crazy i've basically narrrowed it down to 3 (tire size is 215/45/17) Michelin Premier A/S : Via Sam's 128 per Tire Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season after current promotions at Sears $83 a tire Continental TrueContact havent shopped this hard yet I mean as of right now it looks like the Goodyears would win out of sheer price per tire but im not crazy about Sears automotive work. I will be getting an alignment and road hazard HELP!!!”
“Go for it. They have a rebate upto $120 at a GY store. These are the new redesign for the Eagle GT. Better treadwear, traction and ride comfort.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
